TIFU By Saving A Girl’s pic in Snapchat

Submitted by jdowe201 t3_10ftham in tifu

So I was on yikyak earlier and saw a post that caught my eye and thought was funny. I ended up dm’ing the op just so say hey and see what was up. Turns out she was a college student in my town. (I’m 24 for reference) I always make sure whoever I’m talking to is chill with my age etc. We get to talking and she asks what I look like. We end up moving the conversation to snapchat. She sends a pic and I send a pic. It goes back and forth for a little bit so I decide so save one of the live pics she sends in the chat, not to my camera roll or anything. Literally did it just to remember what she looks like. Within 5 seconds she unadds me on snap and deletes the dm thread on yikyak. Of course now I’m like “ah shit”. I had no expectations of anything happening between me and her but now I’ve totally freaked this girl out and feel terrible. I make a post saying her first name and that I’m super sorry. One of her friends ended uo messaging me and I apologized profusely and said I totally understand why she unadded me and that it’s totally understandable if she doesn’t want to talk anymore. The message gets to her, but I still feel super sad about it and instantly regretted my decision.

Tldr: I saved a girl’s pic on snapchat just to remember what she looked like, promoting her to unadd me, and now I feel super sorry.

That's not a TIFU... if the girl is weird enough to not even ask you why you did it and just goes straight full ignore you may have dodged a bullet.

Even though younger generations seems to struggle with basic communication.

I had that happening to me a few times, but when a girl saved my picutre like that it was normal, she was confused why I asked for an explanation. New generation has a lot of self doubt about their looks and I guess they are scared you will share the picture to the whole internet, this is just my thinking I know it will not apply for every person out there.

Yes. Girls will save a guys pic and send it to all their friends. They say it’s perfectly normal. If you save her pic so you remember what she looks like, it’s creepy and weird and a red flag. That’s how society is now.

She was probably just scared and overreacted (she did definitely overreact imo, but I’m also a man so idk her perspective). If you weren’t on an anonymous platform it would have been fine, but it’s a little weird for you to save a regular ass photo of her in chat (given the previous anonymity), even if it was for a wholesome reason. Probably made her worry you would share it with somebody. I know you already know most of this, just reiterating. Regardless sounds like you two are both chronic over thinkers and you dodged a more stressful bullet down the line

Yeah, you have to be careful on the Internet, especially as women
